Should I play Gnome Warrior?

They look mean and ferocious when they get mad.

Gnome Warriors are one of my favorite oddities in the game. We used to have one tank our raids. It used to make me laugh spotting them face-tank dragons and such that could eat him in a single bite.

They are ferocious little things… but eating a gnome tank is generally a bad idea. The little buggers tend to fight all the way down and get stuck in the dragon’s throat, causing them to be spat back out and angrier than before.

It’s quite remarkable that dragons haven’t figured out “can’t I just swat this thing and make it fly for a couple of miles?”

Well, from my experience, playing as a Gnome Warrior has been the most fun I have had in my time in WoW. I look funny, I make jokes about busting up some knees or shins, and basically I wear being a funny little warrior with pride.

“Dude, what happened to you?”
“I don’t know. All the sudden, I was beset by a tiny monster swinging around a blade twice as big as itself and screaming bloody murder!”
“High pitched voice?”
“Yeah, more or less.”
“It was a gnome. Just remember to punt the damn thing the first chance you get.”
“I tried. It bit my foot and wouldn’t let go.”
“… ah. Yeah, tough luck there.”

Logically speaking, gnomes have greater muscle density than any other race to be able to wield such large weapons at such a height without need of some sort of counterbalance or mechanical assistance.

If a gnome were the size of an orc, they’d be as strong as a giant.

Think on this.

Best time with my gnome warrioress was getting the legendary shoulders just right after dinging 110. Three heroic leaps was such fun.

Gnome Fury Warrior is breathtaking to watch. I highly recommend.

Sorry, but a Gnome Warrior is out of the question. Melee gnomes look so derpy and absurd. Gnomes are bad enough without people playing them as a melee class. But if you must play a melee gnome, it should be a rogue, the only somewhat appropriate melee class for them, and even then, it has to be a subtly rogue.

Gnome warrior animations are amazing. Especially checkout wielding a 2h hammer!

I leveled one a few years back but I recently race changed him to kt. I’ll change my dk into a gnome so I can get that feeling back whenever race changed go on sale

Nothing like tanking a big toe :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, the thing is, Gnome Warriors tend to compensate for their lack of personal body mass by lining their plate armor with depleted uranium. This effectively gives them the same mass as a Tauren Warrior or Paladin. (Gnome Death Knights do the same.)

So, not as swattable as you might think. Oddly enough, although this does ameliorate the effects of swatting, bashing, and ramming, it has no apparent effect on punting. But they are working on that, I am assured.

Yes!

Yes you should :slight_smile:

Gnome Rogue? Gnome Mage? Absolutely!!!

Gnome Warrior shouldn’t be a thing. It’s just dumb.
